1. Albania Albanian- American Day! Dita Shqiptaro-Amerikane

    Our PST group out in the village of Thanë was asked to do a community project, and we decided that we would like to focus on the promotion of community cohesion outside of school (which rarely happens). So what better way to do this then to throw a big Albanian-American Party! And it was AMAZING. We had over 120 people come out, 100 of them kids from the school. In a town of only around 400 people. The kids had an amazing time, dancing, playing, getting their faces painted and promoting Peace...
